creating opportunity.

Creating opportunities for stronger civic engagement is a core priority of the NAYA Action Fund. For the Native community, there remains a historical distrust with systems of government and electoral processes. NAYA Action Fund works to build trusted and authentic relationships with community and create avenues to affect positive change. 

The NAYA Action Fund is preparing its first year of civic engagement activities, but past examples of staff civic engagement work includes the Get Out The Native Vote and 2020 Census campaigns and numerous voter education forums and workshops.
